Mining, infrastructure and environmental survey data

Drone surveys that turn difficult sites into decision-ready data.

Brolga Tech delivers specialist UAV bathymetry, LiDAR and aerial image surveys across Australia for teams that need safer capture, repeatable measurements and practical geospatial outputs.

Australia-wide survey capability Mining, infrastructure and environmental projects

Survey focus

Built around the specialised survey work clients ask for most.

Our work has evolved from broad drone services into focused technical surveys for complex operational sites across Australia. We help mining, engineering and environmental teams capture reliable surface, waterbody and asset data without unnecessary exposure to hazards.

Core products

Specialist drone survey services

Bathymetry survey of a mine water body
01

Bathymetry surveying

Drone-deployed bathymetry for dams, ponds, pits and other water bodies where edge access is restricted, unsafe or inefficient.

  • Depth and volume measurement
  • Tailings dam and pit surveys
  • Repeatable sediment and capacity tracking
LiDAR point cloud capture of a mine site
02

LiDAR surveying

High-density point cloud capture for terrain, corridors, structures and vegetated areas where accurate 3D data matters.

  • Topographic survey support
  • Digital terrain and surface models
  • Stockpile, cutting and rehabilitation volumes
Aerial image survey of a mining area
03

Aerial image surveys

Geospatially accurate imagery for mapping, inspection, change detection and desktop assessment across active sites.

  • Orthomosaics and site maps
  • Asset and condition assessment
  • Repeat surveys for change monitoring

Mining applications

Survey intelligence for operational mine sites.

Mine teams need data that can be captured safely, processed clearly and used confidently. Brolga Tech supports planning, operations, compliance and rehabilitation with drone survey methods suited to active and remote sites.

Safer Reduced need for personnel near water, steep ground or operating corridors.
Repeatable Consistent capture for monitoring progress, sediment, erosion and site change.
Practical Outputs shaped for engineers, surveyors, environmental teams and site managers.

Tailings and water storage

Bathymetric surveys help quantify available capacity, sediment build-up and changing bed profiles without launching people or boats from hazardous edges.

Volumes and earthworks

LiDAR and aerial photogrammetry provide dense 3D data for stockpiles, cuttings, rehabilitation surfaces and operational progress checks.

Environmental monitoring

Repeat aerial surveys support erosion monitoring, vegetation assessment, water flow analysis and evidence-based rehabilitation reporting.

Asset and access mapping

High-resolution orthomosaics make it easier to inspect roads, benches, dams, corridors and infrastructure from the desktop.

Why Brolga Tech

Commercial aviation discipline, survey-grade thinking.

We combine drone operations experience with a practical understanding of mine-site constraints: safety, access, data quality, repeatability and reporting deadlines.

Our role is to collect the right data, process it into usable outputs and help your project team make informed decisions with less time in the field.
